Lian's face darkened as he listened to Rea's words. He did not expect such a loss. "Well, it is pointless to cry now… 1% is still better than nothing, right?" He turned to Rick.
Rick blinked rapidly, still confused about the percentages. He nodded distractedly at Lian before turning his head to Rea. "And what happens if I, a Bronze 3, take a Bronze 4 pill? Why can I not do it?"
Rea looked at him for a second before shaking her head, a sigh escaping her lips. "There are always people like you who do not believe the words of experts and tend to do things their own way."
Rick looked down, slightly embarrassed. But before he could bury himself in embarrassment, Rea continued.
"The reason you cannot take a Mana Pill or a Vital Pill higher than your rank is because you risk overloading your mana. The mana of a Bronze 3 can never be compared to that of a Bronze 4."
